Surrey’s 19-year-old all-rounder Sam Curran was handed his first England cap on Friday after Ben Stokes was ruled out for the second test against Pakistan at Headingley. (LIVE SCORECARD)Stokes failed a late fitness test on a hamstring strain suffered during fielding practice this week. His older brother Tom played two tests in England’s recent Ashes defeat in Australia while late father Kevin played for Zimbabwe. Pakistan, who beat England by nine wickets in the first test at Lord’s, won the toss and opted to bat. “It looks like a good pitch, so hopefully we will do well,” said Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed.
